Autumn has arrived...

The days are definitely cooler now. My standard roses are giving a final flush.

We did a quick trip to Adelaide on Tuesday so Gus could deliver 3 vehicles then back Wednesday. I made choc chip cookie bars for my girls.I've been given some more tomatoes from my bro-in-law so I made a little tomato and zucchini bake for dinner last night. Then I chopped up all the rest and zip lock bagged them (sucking out the air with a drink straw). These will go into the freezer to make future bakes or be thrown into soup or a stew. I love the taste of fresh grown tomatoes - hot house grown ones just don't compare.

The picture of the splayed out chicken was from dinner Sunday night - Thai marinated a la Gus! It was delicious!

As I said, it's getting cooler now and it's definitely time for Daylight Saving to finish. I love snugging in when the weather gets cold. We had some really heavy rain last night, so loud on our roof that I couldn't hear the TV! Poor Queensland is copping a beating, first with cyclone Debbie and now torrential rain which has historically closed schools across the SE of state due to safety concerns. Unheard of!

I hope the weather is better for the weekend as we are off to the footy!

Your roses look lovel! Today, now that all the rain is gone, it's fine and windy. A touch cooler than the hot and humid weather we've been having. Perhaps, with the passing of the rain depression left over from Cyclone Debbie, Autumn may finally come along. Meg:)

Love the tomatoes and all the work you did with these! And you were in Adelaide! It is so warm today! I am off to check out our new local Aldi. This is very exciting, a game changer for us I think. Thank you very much for having Bluebirds on your side bar, I got quite a lot of traffic from this. I really appreciate it. With love Annabel.xxx

My Recipes

I think the link is broken to these recipes. Click on one and if it doesn't work, replace http// with www. and it should take you to the recipe post. One's that aren't linked, I'm pretty sure if you google simply joolz and the name of the recipe, you will find it that way. I just haven't got time to go through each one and change the links.... :)
